Hah, imagine having a walkable town in America! Yeah right, you’re lucky if you can walk to anything within 15 minutes in most places. There are exceptions of course, but places like New York City are way too expensive for the average person to live in. Hell, most cities where you could walk to these food places from your apartment means you’re gonna be spending a fortune in rent because of that “prime” location. You’re expected to have a car for damn near everything and it sucks ass if you don’t like driving. They’ll judge you if you don’t have a drivers license. I have a fear of driving, that’s how I know.

Can you all afford to eat out still? It’s gotten exponentially more expensive here in the US since 30 years back.

Also, tacos? How cosmopolitan. In living memory such fare would’ve been unheard of, both there and there. The BBC once ran a joke piece showing Italians harvesting pasta off the pasta tree and most people accepted it until they told them. Back in the 50s tacos were unheard of in the north at least.
